Uh. Now how do I promote this thing.
I have an idea, I'll post it in pubski tho cause I feel like shit rn
Sounds good, looking forward to reading it. Feel better!
How about using Hypemachine? By using it for the past 3 years I have found loads of good music. When I noticed that music that I liked is posted by some blogs more than others, I went and boomarked them. I bet this also happens with others :)
I have used Hype Machine before but it seems geared more towards song premieres as opposed to reviews and interviews and the format I'm going for.
One option is to run a netlabel, and publish artists via the blog. Another option is to provide a curated music collection, much like FreeMusicArchive curators do.
Netlabels are great! I think that would be a bit much right now but is a future possibility. Since what I'm reviewing is going to be new and free music my plan is to have two kinds of curated playlists: 1. Selected by me. This will be a mix of older and newer music, all of which is freely available for download via bandcamp/SoundCloud. I'll likely release these playlists once a month, maybe twice. 2. Guest playlists. These will be curated by friends and musicians and will be once a month and can be anything.
